Spring Has Sprung—And So Has the Market in Truckee & Tahoe

Afternoon Guys,

As the snow melts and the days get longer, buyers are getting serious—and sellers are getting ready. With inventory ticking up and lifestyle-driven purchases heating up early, both Truckee and Tahoe are seeing fresh activity across key segments.

Let’s dive into what’s happening this week:

🔹 Homes with natural light and modern finishes are moving in the $1.3M–$1.5M range.

💡 Seller Tip: Showcase any recent upgrades—kitchens, bathrooms, and decks make a difference.

Glenshire & Ponderosa
